What about the routing cache, though?

Our Linux-based routers handle considerably less than 1Gbps peak, and
they drop packets when the cache is flushed. (So I had to set the
automatic flush to 86400 seconds instead of 10).

It would be necessary to either reinvent the route cache or come up
with something better. Preferably the latter, of course.
